When regular H2O feels boring, try this water with oomph, created by Alexis Wolfer, author of The Recipe for Radiance: Discover Beauty's Best-Kept Secrets in Your Kitchen. Sip two to three cups per day on a relatively empty stomach—like after a workout or when you've spent the afternoon outside—to get these fantastic natural benefits, suggests Wolfer.

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add tea bags, mint, and ginger, and let steep for 30 minutes. Strain into a large pitcher, pressing on solids to extract remaining liquid. Add lemon juice and remaining water. Refrigerate until chilled. Garnish with lemon slices, if desired, and serve over ice.
